A
Message from the PM – Boosting Economic Growth
Sunday, 13 July 2014
Later this year, Brisbane will
host the leaders of the world’s biggest economies at the G20 summit.
This year’s summit will focus on
boosting economic growth – because stronger economic growth is the key to
addressing almost every global problem.
The outcome should be more jobs,
better infrastructure, freer trade and greater co-operation -- because these
are the foundations of stronger economies.
As President, Australia is
already leading by example.
The Government’s Economic Action Strategy is delivering results.
Since the end of last year,
110,000 new jobs have been created.
We’ve also held a red tape repeal
day to cut 50,000 pages of unnecessary red tape – as part of our plan to save
Australians $1 billion in red tape costs every year.
We’re also scrapping bad taxes
like the carbon tax and the mining tax – and the Government will keep talking
to the new Senate so that this can happen as soon as possible.
And the Government has signed
free trade agreements with Korea and Japan.
The agreement with Japan will
benefit our farmers and our businesses – 97 per cent of Australia’s exports to
Japan will receive preferential access or enter duty-free once the Agreement is
fully implemented.
And consumers here will benefit
from less expensive Japanese cars and parts, and from lower prices on household
items like white goods and electronics.
This coming week, business
leaders from around the world will meet in Sydney.
My message to them is that
Australia is open for business. Together, we can foster growth and we can and
will create more jobs. |
